Dear All,
During the recent GM’s conference I touched upon the importance of supplier networks and the power they have to reach a wider and more targeted audience of MICE planners.
Some time ago I met with Dominique Plaisetty from MICEFINDER.com which is one of the top venue finder websites in Europe used by agencies and corporate buyers to select destination and venues for events.
Much like Cvent, this platform allows clients to search for suitable venues in an area of interest, review its suitability for given event and directly contact the property with a RFP.
Some of these websites are free of charge but have a lower target audience and not always the most fruitful. Others which are more established charge an annual fee to have your property listed. For MICEFINDER.com I have been forwarded the following rates and would advise you rev
For individual subscription the subscription fees are:
• 870 euros/year for ONE HOTEL and
• 1200 euros/year for ONE "Congress Center"
*(No VAT applicable for companies outside of France)
Each property will have a full page for their presentation on the website including:
• Logo
• All contact info (address tel, website, email)
• Link to your website
• 25 pictures
• Text presentation ( you can include in your text the contacts of yours reps worldwide, links for videos etc)
The annual membership will also allow you access to all MICEFINDER.com’s other marketing services such as:
• Rental of the data base of 65.000 Mice buyers worldwide
• FAM trips organization
• Event organization
• Trade shows discounts
• Special newsletter dedicated to your company or property
You can see a property here an: EXAMPLE
If you subscribe you will receive his own LOGIN and PASSWORD; with this you can access the MICE PARTNER’S ACCESS portal and enter your property details and update/change as often as you like to include promotions, change property information and or pictures without consulting MICEFINDER directly thus you have full control of the presentation
Now as CHR we will not buy a group subscription but if you let me know if you are interested in your property being included then let em know and we can try to apply for the following discounts-
Group subscription (one invoice, one payment) discounts on the annual fee.
• 10% for a minimum of 5 properties
• 15% for a minimum of 10 properties
• 20% for a minimum of 20 properties
For now your properties are listed by name only but no other detail available. Please note that there are limited properties listed on the site which can be taken as either a positive or negative.
Let me know you thoughts and I will collate before reverting back to MICEFINDER.com directly.
